Chapter 473: Truth or Lie?
Emmett doubled up his fists in anger.
***
When ine said that she wanted to be with Mark, Mark was also shocked.
He turned his head and looked at ine in disbelief. He was excited, but when he saw that ine
showed a pained look and her eyes were red and swollen from crying, he contained his excitement.
He smiled bitterly.
How pathetic he was. He must be delusional to think that ine still liked him.
Emmett was such a good man. How could ine still like him?
She just used him as an excuse.
But it was fine. At least he could still be useful for her.
He felt a great sadness for himself.
He stole a nce at Emmett and was stunned to find that Emmett, who had always been ruthless and
vicious, had tears in his eyes.
Obviously, he was sad.
This realization shocked Mark.
"ine, why do you involve Mark in our rtionship? If there''s anything wrong, you can tell me. We
can solve the problem together. Don''t bring up breakup every time,"
Emmett said. He tried his best to subside his anger.
However, Kayden could tell from his clenched fists that he was furious.
ine bit her lip, almost making it bleed.
Deep in her heart, she didn''t want to break up with Emmett. She liked having him by her side and
teasing him in his arms.
However, her father killed his mother in a car ident. The gulf between the two families couldn''t be
bridged.
Thinking of this cruel fact, ine felt devastated, as if several knives were stabbing at her.
The tears were streaming so fast that she could not see. She was reluctant to part with this man in front
of her.
"Emmett, it''s not your fault, but mine. I... I''m not a good match for you, and I don''t love you very much. I
was confused. I didn''t know what kind of feelings I had for you. I finally understand now that I''ve always
loved Mark. I was with you because I wanted to see if Mark would be jealous. I wanted to test him. We
are not from the same world. We shouldn''t be together, right?"
***
"No!" Emmett couldn''t restrain himself anymore. He roared, "I don''t like to hear these words from you.
Don''t try to make excuses! I know you love me. Who else do you love if you don''t love me? I know you
are hiding something from me. You can tell me if you are unhappy with me. Why do you always want to
break up with me? Mark shouldn''t stand between us!"
ine was stunned for a moment. She pulled the quilt to cover her face and started to cry.
Mark was worried, but he thought he shouldn''t stay here. No matter what, he should let the two of them
settle their matters.
He could be with ine, but not now. He had to wait after ine broke up with Emmett.
Mark looked at ine, sighed, and walked out with his head lowered.
Kayden followed him behind and closed the door softly.
Emmett walked over and removed the quilt that covered ine''s face. Seeing the tears on her face, he
was no longer angry.
He didn''t have the heart to be angry with her.
Taking a deep breath, Emmett sat on the bed and gently wiped ine''s tears.
Feeling the temperature at his fingertips, ine had all sorts of thoughts. She grabbed his hand to
cover her face, not willing to let him go.
Emmett felt her cold tears and breath and let out a long sigh.
"It is you who want to break up.
Why are you crying?
I should be the one who is crying."
Emmett nced at ine helplessly.
"I... I feel terrible," ine murmured. She was crying her eyes out.
"Why? Because you''re afraid that I''ll find fault with Mark?"
''No! No!'' ine screamed inwardly, but she didn''t say it out. She just nodded.
Emmett smiled bitterly. "Why are you so worried about Mark? Why don''t you care about me?"

ine held Emmett''s hand tightly and ced it on her face, sniffing at his scent.

She wasn''t worried about Mark. She was said because she had to break up with Emmett.
She wanted to ask him whether he approached her because her father killed his mother in a car
ident.
But the words died on her lips.
Emmett was a victim of that ident. She didn''t have the cheek to bring it up.
"Baby, I was very anxious and worried when I knew that you fainted and were sent to the hospital. I
don''t know what other men do to the women they like, but I know that I''ve never been so worried about
any woman in my life. You aren''t that outstanding. I have to say that you are immature whenpared
with other women, but I care about you so much. Isn''t this love? Tell me, what else do you want me to
do to you?"
Hearing Emmett''s words, ine cried even harder.
''Emmett, what should I do? I love you very much.
I''m ashamed of what my dad did, but I hope I can always love you,'' she thought to herself.
"Stop it. I''ve made up my mind. It''s useless to say that. You can leave," she said.
ine rxed her grip on Emmett''s arm. She shrank back, and her long and thick eyshes were
covered with tears.
Emmett''s face turned stormy. Overwhelmed by sadness, he gritted his teeth, trying to calm himself
down.
"You decide it now? Or was it decided long ago? If you decided it long ago, why were you so close to
me? If you still loved Mark, why did you have sex with me and groan like you were enjoying itst
night? I wouldn''t believe a woman can be in love with one guy and enjoy sex with another. Why would
you lie to me and yourself? What happened? What turned you into this? Talk to me!"
***
Why would you lie to me and yourself? What happened? What turned you into this? Talk to me!
ine was trembling violently. She cried,
"I''m not good enough for you! My family let you down! If it weren''t for my father, your mother wouldn''t
have died! That''s the truth, isn''t it? You know that my father ran over your mother and killed her, don''t
you? You approached me to get revenge on me! You were nice to me, so I fell in love with you. And
then you would abandon me and make me suffer. I''m not sad because of Mark. I am sad because I am
going to say goodbye to my first love. I hate to admit it, but I fell in love with a man who wanted to take
revenge on me! Emmett, why are you so smart? I mean it. You are very smart. You pretend to love me,
and now I can''t extricate myself from our rtionship. I hate you, and I''m sorry. I don''t know how I
should be with you. I hate you because I knew such a cruel truth after I fell in love with you. I''m sorry
because my father killed your mother. Go, Emmett. You made it. You made me fall in love with you and
broke my heart. I wanted to preserve my dignity, but you didn''t give me a chance. You forced me to tell
you the truth. Are you satisfied now? Your enemy''s daughter is in love with you, but she is abandoned
and heartbroken."
Emmett was taken aback.
He didn''t expect any of this. He stood up and took a few steps back. Narrowing his eyes, he breathed
raggedly and stared at ine.
iney against the pillow, tilted her head and looked at him, her eyes red.
"My father told you this?"
Emmett was right. He couldn''t hide anything from his father. Atwood had told ine everything.
***
"Yes. Is what he said true?"
Until now, ine still hoped that this could be a lie.
How she wished Atwood told her a lie!
